Seems the world is opening its eyes to the grave problem of pollution facing the world. And this unique Stephanie Sandstrom’s EPA Dress, currently on display at the San Francisco Exploratorium’s 2nd Skin Exhibition is a perfect exemplar of this.
The link between this dress and pollution lies in the fact that it reacts to bad air. Yes, the moment it gets exposed to the polluted air, it starts to shrink and create wrinkles.
An intelligent interpreter of the bad environmental condition, this eco-friendly dress keeps a sad, wrinkled and tired façade when the situation is unbearable and also hazardous.
Now, coming to the technicalities that stimulate these wrinkles and reaction, one can find sensors embedded inside the EPA dress that are intelligent enough to detect the atmospheric conditions thereby creating telling kinks in the fabric’s surface.
So when the EPA dress looks crisp, happy and gay you have all reasons to feel happy as the environment you are breathing in is fine, else watchout!

Accessory of luxury until a short time ago, the Bluetooth headsets have become objects we use the day to day. With such a democracy, manufacturers are no longer able to innovate much more in terms of technical characteristics by which they are forced to rely increasingly on original designs.

It features chic LED lights (that can be chosen from seven wild colours) to brighten up the interior whenever you need to hunt out something.

This is not where the bag story ends, there’s more to it! You will find a button inside the bag, which works as a panic button that can be pressed whenever you are in some kind of trouble and police help will be available to you, thanks to the GPS-enabled transmitter alerting them to your exact position.
Styles are many and designs are numerous, and the price range starts from $30, which includes the first two months of the GPS rescue/tracking service free.

Hi-tech clothing and wearable technology is becoming a rage these days, and this cool shirt is no exception to this fad after the hug shirt.
Air conditioners fail and air seems like burning when the sun works on your car to hot it up. But if you have this all new Cooling Shirt, you will have a little less to worry.
A perfect accessory for the professional drivers who most of the time are driving on the roads or rather the racing drivers who burn themselves inside those racing cars. The cooling shirt circulates icy chilled water all across your body via a portable refrigeration unit that’s as small as a medium picnic cooler. The pipes run all across your body and keep you cool without making you wet.
And if you want more, in some versions of the Cool Shirt the water can also be transferred to the helmet to keep the head cool as well.
